Strophe:
At the age of 10, I was full of happiness
When I was 17, my life was full of dreams
When I was 21, I was full of hope
when I was 25, the fire burned
Pre-Chorus:
We live, we die, we smile, we cry
we love, we hate, we feel, we freeze
we love, we hate, create, destroy
we dance, we scream, forget, forgive
Chorus:
Open your eyes, as long as you can see
Open your heart, as long as you can feel
Feel the heat
Freeze in the night
Holding on for a while
Dance outside
Laugh tonight
Write the story, write it down
In this unwritten book
There is a portrait of your life
For every step you make
You go one or two back
At the beginning there’s so much hope
But at the end the bin is empty
Your parents told it too
So say it once or say it twice
Strophe:
When I was 48, all my dreams died
When I was 55, I yearned for the past
When I was 63, I dried my tears
When I 84, I turned off the light and left without saying goodbye

Strophe:
When we thought the same things
When we walked the same streets
Everything was so simple
When we had the same dreams
When we drank the same drinks
Everything seemed to stay for ever
Chorus
We shared our breath and our thoughts
And nothing in this world
Could ever divide us
This bond was so strong
And nothing in this world
Could ever divide us
Strophe
When we laughed together at jokes
While sitting under oaks
Everything felt so gentle
When we hated their advice
Detested the whole lies
We believed in the good
Where have we lost each other?
Chorus
Every day we lose something
Every day the world’s changing
And so we too,
so we too
Every day we learn something
Every day the life continues
And so we too,
so we too
We tried to hold on
We tried to stick with
But the world did not wait
Did not wait
We tried to stay strong
We tried to forget
But the world did not wait
Did not wait
But the world did not wait
Did not forget
And so we too
So we too
Outro
Keep me, keep us alive
Don’t let us fall asleep before it’s time

Don’t look back
Don’t take big steps
Such a pretty house
Such a pretty family
Always keep on smiling
Shaking hands kindly
Such a nice job
Such a nice neighbor
Starring at the ground
Always step aside
Chorus:
There are times, when we have to say goodbye
Goodbye pretty, pretty lies
Let us start to breath
Take a breath, feel the wind/tide
Goodbye tristesse
Goodbye comfort
Goodbye sweet lies
Welcome happiness
Goodbye veil
Goodbye mask
Goodbye bitterness
Welcome realness
Drown it in the river
Drown it in the dark
So, no one knows,
No one cares
Never coming back

Nur noch Augenblicke

Nur noch Augenblicke, voller Angst und voller Furcht
Nur noch leere Blicke und der Boden voller Blut
Atem wird zu Eis
Leben wird zu Fleisch
Nur noch Augenblicke
zwischen Leben, zwischen Tod
Regennasse Strassen, Strassenlaternen leuchten.
Kissenschlachten der Wissenschaften, jeder kann Sterne deuten.
Die Gischt Spritzt auf den Bordstein,die Türen des Busses schliessen sich.
Wer die blutige Wahrheit nicht sehen will,der sieht sie nicht.
Rote Ampeln schimmern hinter den Scheibenwischern.
Hörst du die Kraft, die Weisheit in des Vogels leisem Zwitschern.
Da ist nicht viel Platz zwischen Bus und Brücke.
Sie werden immer dreister wenn sie Waffen zum Schusse zücken.
Die Lichter der Stadt sieht man gut von der Landstraße aus.
Wir ziehen ab das Fell nach dem Streicheln, das macht uns gar nichts aus.
Bunte Mischung hier – die meisten sind eingeschlafen.
Niemand hindert Dich Mensch daran dazu nein zu sagen.
Mein Gesicht in der Scheibe, ich kann die Jahre sehen.
In diesem System wird es immer nur um Bares gehen.
Letztes Dorf vor meiner Haltestelle. Ich drück den roten Knopf.
In einer Welt ohne Herz, nur mit nem Totenkopf.
Der Tod hat viele Gesichter
Die Lust macht Leben zunichte
Und der Schmerz ist immer der gleiche
Der Schmerz ist immer der gleiche
Manche Herzen schlagen lauter
Manche Herzen schlagen leiser
Doch deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Manche Herzen schlagen langsam
Manche Herzen schlagen schneller
Doch deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Manche Herzen schlagen lauter
Manche Herzen schlagen leiser
Doch deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Deren Klang ist immer der gleiche
Stille
